    Abstract: A random acoustic phase scrambler device is installed in-line with a telecommunications fiber link to prevent voice detection via fiber links. The device includes a transducer to produce vibrations; a length of optical fiber positioned to receive the vibration from the transducer; and a random acoustic phase driver configured to control the intensity and frequency of the vibrations. The transducer produces randomized vibrations within an acoustic bandwidth. The device is configured to introduce device-induced phase changes to signals within the telecommunications fiber link. The bandwidth of the device-induced phase changes is greater than the bandwidth of voice-induced phase changes, and the device-induced phase changes are greater in intensity than the voice-induced phase changes. The device-induced phase changes mask voice-induced phase changes through the telecommunications fiber link that are otherwise detectable by voice detection equipment tapped to the telecommunications fiber link.

    Abstract: A system may include a receiver configured to receive a communications signal from a transmitter and processing circuitry configured to: determine at least one frequency characteristic of the communications signal and compare the at least one frequency characteristic to at least one verified frequency characteristic stored by a memory associated with the processing circuitry to determine whether the transmitter is a verified transmitter. In some examples, the transmitter, receiver and communications signal are an optical transmitter, and optical receiver, and an optical signal, respectively.

    Abstract: A system and method for securing communication over an optical fiber are disclosed. The system includes a transmit spatial multiplexer configured to couple a plurality of optical signals into respective ones of a plurality of spatial paths of an optical fiber, each of the spatial paths being able to carry an optical signal; wherein at least one of the plurality of optical signals is an optically modulated version of a desired sequence of information that is intended to be transferred over the optical fiber; and wherein at least one of the plurality of optical signals is an optical chaff signal; whereby a tap along the fiber cannot determine the transmitted desired sequence of information.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to optical modules, and in particular, to an optical module comprising a printed circuit board for reducing crosstalk between differential signal lines. In one implementation, the printed circuit board comprises a top layer, a first intermediate signal transmission layer, a second intermediate signal transmission layer, a bottom layer and multiple ground layers between signal transmission layers. Each signal transmission layer comprises one or more differential signal line pairs. The top layer and the bottom layer each comprises an edge connector, and the top layer further comprises a laser driver chip. The signal transmission layers are connected to the edge connectors and laser driver chips via a combination of blind and through connection holes such that the interference between the differential signal line pairs of various signal transmission layers are reduced.

    Abstract: Techniques to transmit encoded data along a transmission medium and decode the transmitted data along the transmission medium are provided. Some techniques include logic to encode data transmitted along a transmission medium, such as a fiberoptic line or cable, where the encoding is pursuant to a conversion between a first and second colorspace. The logic may further be configured to decode the data once it is received at a node along the fiberoptic line, where the colorspace conversion provides the basis, key, or cipher for preforming the decoding operation. The logic may be further configured to alter the encryption and decryption basis, key, or cypher by altering the colorspace scheme defining the encoding (and by extension the decoding) during transmission, including a transmission that takes place after a previous transmission governed by the previously defined (and subsequently altered) colorspace conversion scheme. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
